The once-overflowing seas have dried up, and almost all living species, apart from humans, have gone extinct. In this new era, where civilization has crumbled, violence and domination reign supreme, with strength being the only measure of power in a world where food and water are a valuable currency. Enter Kenshirou, a man of mystery, wielding the lethal 2000-year-old martial art form called Hokuto Shinken. With his deadly style, will he be the savior this new age desperately needs, eliminating evil and restoring hope?
